_New York, October 4th._--We left New Haven this morning and arrived
here this afternoon. The intermediate country along the northern shore
of Long Island Sound is very interesting. We crossed a great many rivers
which in England would be deemed large ones, at the mouths of which were
pretty villages, but we passed so rapidly that we had scarcely time to
do more than catch a glimpse of them. As the mail leaves to-morrow, I
must conclude this.

Cambridge.
LETTER VI.
DESTRUCTION OF THE CRYSTAL
PALACE.--PHILADELPHIA.--CEMETERY.--GIRARD
COLLEGE.--BALTIMORE.--AMERICAN LITURGY.--RETURN TO
PHILADELPHIA.--PENITENTIARY.--RETURN TO NEW YORK.
New York, 12th Oct. 1858.
We have seen comparatively so little since I last wrote to you, that I
have hesitated about sending by this mail any account of our travels;
but I believe, upon the whole, it may be as well to give you an account
of our movements up to this time.
My last letter would tell you of our arrival at this place. The evening
was so fine, that papa and I were induced to go to the Crystal Palace.
Although very inferior to ours at Sydenham, it was interesting as being
filled with an immense variety of farming implements, which had been
brought together for the great annual agricultural show.
